When i went in February Ghost rider was also closed. I probably should just go to sixflags so i wont be disappointed.

There was considerable damage to the launching and roll back brake mechanisms and they are currently trying to repair and reopen the ride. If it reopens this month, I'll be surprised, though they have made some considerable progress in the repairs recently.
